Mini-Guide for DE Farming - you want super heroes, don't you?

[Reznor]

Wow 8 wizards, that makes the training time 45 minutes, no? That's very long :/ I rely on strong CC troops instead. Usually there are either 7 wizards or 1 dragon & 2 wizards in my CC from my clan mates, because in our clan that's pretty much all we donate People who just woke up for the day donate awesome troops to everyone, and farm after all good troops are given out

But congrats on your DE progress Share your hero levels with us!

Yeah its 46 minutes which is considered long but it suits me pretty well. Strong troops in my CC is definitely a huge bonus and can turn the tide in battle, but if I get 25 archers then I'm cool with that too. King is currently 7 and queen is 5 which is quite lowly. Sitting on 14k DE. Hopefully will get them both above 10 soon to make my raids a bit easier! Still picking up some strategy points in your videos

I always stay away from 2 Inferno Towers, never end well when I take those on

And usually I stay away 1 inferno tower unless the DE storage is not near the inferno tower. 1 Inferno Tower is still a bit risky, not worth the chance for 35 minutes of cook time & a rage.

Here is a video to demonstrate how to use centralized heroes against them - they drew my dragon right next to the DE so the next thing the dragon attacks is the DE storage, sweet! haha

Nice work Fhou, that was quick!

Just wondering if you've got any good video examples of this technique at TH8? Do you do everything the same or are there any tweaks?

i hear people do not fear x-bows, but what about inferno towers? Big no no?

Cheers

Looks like your strategy is catching on. Just found this thread. Pretty funny

Oh wow, yeah. People are starting to realize this now. I wonder how should the defense be setup to counter this CC plug hole strategy

Here is a video to show the kind of bases with 1 inferno tower I would feel comfortable attacking. I guess mainly because the base is premature and the inferno tower wasn't protected too well (the path to get to it was quite direct)

Designed to counter just this strategy Still an early version, so will improve it depending on comments.

Just did a trophy run with my clan, so I am up near 2100. Super excited for the trip down to gold league. Looking to get lots of DE. Just started my BK to level 8, hope to start the next upgrade as soon as he finished, unity style!


already did two attacks and so far i have gotten 3400 de. Im th8, so its a little difficult up here. So many Towers of Death! (IT)

wish me luck!

Good luck trying to counter this strategy. I'm sure I saw in one of Unity's earlier videos where the heros were at the bottom of the base. He triggered them with single barbs first, then proceeded to deploy main troops at the top. The heros started their march up through the base and the attacking troops were drawn into the middle at the same time.

The same could easily be done with your base layout, swapping the heros with the CC troops.

Great new vids Unity. Your dragon was like a high strength magnet for the DE!

Now I know your secrets, I will either bring a dragon or 2-3 balloons to soak up the DE mines first I am sure one of the balloons will trigger 2 DE mines at same time, as well as the air mines, hehe..

Awesome! Keep up the good work and share your hero journey with us!

Wow, I thought people wouldn't notice, but you did. Good job buddy! Yep, that is the essence of coring (or plug hole) strategy.

And now... a couple of videos for your entertainment today, this one below shows a few things:
1. Do not leave too many buffer buildings without any protection
2. Don't put all of your storage tanks in the center... It is just attracting big attacks...
3. Hold off rage as long as you can, and drop it in the center if possible (I delayed the rage because there was no CC troops and the heroes and defenses were weak leading up to core).
4. And be nice to TH hunters (free shield providers) or else!

I was quite hesitant to attack this base, due to his maxed wizard towers and lv 3 xbows. But after trying a tactic of sending goblins one by one to distract his wizard towers, the wizards lived long enough to get quite a bit of loot. What a battle - I was very surprised that I got the loot! Don't try this at home though

[legendqueen]

it's the first time i check this thread
very nice strategy, nice vids also. Just love the way you use wizard as main damage dealer

but how many minions you often use? May be in a rush for dark elixir, we should consider not using DE troops
